Chapter 16 Blackmail
The sky continued to turn.
In the scene, Ye Fan bids farewell to his wife and daughter, with the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron above his head and his holy blood boiling around him. He charges towards the forbidden zone without any concealment, and his overwhelming momentum shakes the heavens.
The forbidden zones of various timelines instantly erupted in chaos, with the supreme beings issuing furious denunciations:
"Arrogant! Just because you killed three un-cultivated hegemons, you think you're invincible?"
"Even back in the beginning of time, they weren't this arrogant!"
"Still too young, they don't understand the difference between a true ancient emperor and a fully-fledged hegemon!"
These supreme beings looked at the sky, each one filled with rage.
Ye Fan's actions were undoubtedly trampling on their supreme dignity.
They acknowledged that Ye Fan's combat power was extraordinary, far surpassing that of ordinary Great Perfection Saints, and even stronger than a newly enlightened Great Emperor. However, they were not newcomers who had just attained enlightenment.
Their cultivation over 20,000 years had already far surpassed their level when they first attained enlightenment, making them far beyond what Ye Fan could easily shake.
The scene on the screen shifted, and Ye Fan was the first to step into the Undying Mountain.
In this renowned forbidden zone of life, he walked steadily towards the ancient, evergreen tree of enlightenment in the mountains.
Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and began to pluck, stripping off all the ancient leaves from the tree that contained the aura of the Great Dao and taking them for his own use.
Immediately afterward, Ye Fan's figure flashed and he appeared in the forbidden area of the Divine Ruins.
He stood in the void, his expression calm, and with a wave of his hand, he struck out. His giant hand blotted out the sky and sun, and plunged into the depths of the Divine Ruins.
The earth trembled, and he forcefully seized a winding, dragon-like vein of earth, holding it in his palm.
Above the earth's veins, a divine spring gushed forth from the depths of the earth's veins. It was a supreme treasure of the Divine Ruins, yet Ye Fan had easily taken control of it.
After leaving the Divine Ruins, Ye Fan entered the Immortal Tomb.
He selected hundreds of the most valuable prehistoric stone tablets, and with a wave of his hand, he uprooted them all without leaving any room for error.
A moment later, Ye Fan appeared in the Primordial Forbidden Zone and headed straight for the edge of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
This time, he was unable to get close easily. Several powerful auras suddenly erupted, blocking his body. It was the supreme beings in the Primordial Ancient Mine who had made their move.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want a Primordial Stone."
After an unknown amount of time, a low ripple came from the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine, and a silvery-white strange stone suddenly flew out, its body flowing with dazzling immortal light and gushing out pure immortal essence.
Beneath the sky, countless ordinary cultivators stared in disbelief at the scene, completely forgetting to breathe.
"This is too audacious! Breaking into forbidden zones and demanding priceless treasures, they're treating even the Supreme Beings like dirt!"
"Why is the restricted area just letting him extort money like this? Aren't they going to teach him a lesson?"
However, the supreme powerhouses from different timelines remained calm, having long been accustomed to this.
This has long been an unwritten rule among those who attain enlightenment in the heavens: if a forbidden zone intervenes during the attainment of enlightenment, the enlightened one will go to the forbidden zone to demand compensation and settle old grudges after achieving enlightenment.
But this time, Ye Fan stopped in front of the Sea of Reincarnation.
This restricted area is quite special, forming its own world, with only one exit connecting it to the Big Dipper Starfield, making it mysterious and eerie.
The next moment, the Sea of Reincarnation was filled with towering silver waves.
A chilling roar echoed throughout the Eastern Wilderness, shaking the entire world: "You brat, you've become incredibly arrogant! With your unproven Great Completion Saint Body, you dare to attempt to level my Reincarnation Sea?"
Ye Fan remained calm, his tone indifferent yet utterly disrespectful: "Isn't it just you? Does this Sea of Reincarnation harbor a whole nest of Supreme Beings?"
"It seems you know quite a bit." The voice grew colder, the killing intent almost freezing the void.
At this moment, beyond the celestial canopy, in numerous dimensions, the Carefree Celestial Venerable, residing in a forbidden zone, had a face ashen with rage. He growled in a low voice, "You think you can bully me because I'm the only one left in the Sea of Reincarnation? Junior, don't be so arrogant, or you'll break your own teeth!"
He had to admit that Ye Fan's combat strength was indeed comparable to that of a newly enlightened Great Emperor. Ordinary Ancient Emperors and Supreme Beings would really have to think twice before meeting him.
However, he was one of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythical Era, with profound foundations. Not only was he unafraid of Ye Fan's challenge, but he even had the idea of seizing this heaven-defying holy body.
The emperors from other timelines were also harboring their own thoughts.
In the Void Emperor's timeline, the Void Emperor secretly pondered: "Has the future Sea of Reincarnation become so weak?"
In his own time and space, the Sea of Reincarnation and the Mountain of Immortality have been in constant confrontation with him, never showing the slightest weakness, and are far more powerful than what is seen in the sky.
In the spacetime of the Great Emperor Wushi, a faint halo of spacetime surrounded the Great Emperor Wushi. He operated the Great Dao of Spacetime, quietly calculating the distance between his spacetime and Ye Fan's. His eyes flickered slightly: "The distance is not far... It seems that my Sea of Reincarnation should be leveled as well."
The images on the celestial screen continued to shift.
Ye Fan looked up into the depths of the Sea of Reincarnation, his tone slightly mocking as he directly extorted, "If you want to avoid this battle, you can offer up an elixir of immortality, or a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill!"
Upon hearing this, the carefree Celestial Venerable outside the celestial canopy almost cursed on the spot. While the elixir of immortality was of little use to him, he didn't have any.
As for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, if he truly possessed such a divine medicine, he would have seized Ye Fan's sacred body long ago when Ye Fan was undergoing his tribulation and at his weakest!
As expected, the carefree Celestial Venerable in the sky was completely enraged, and his figure burst forth!
With a wave of his hand, the ancient tree in the center of the Samsara Sea suddenly rose from the ground. The tree rapidly shrank, eventually turning into a withered branch that fell into the treasure bottle and settled steadily at the bottom.
Emperor's Time and Space
The Emperor's gaze was fixed on the ancient tree in the sky that had been taken away by the Carefree Celestial Venerable. His imperial aura suddenly solidified, and his tone was filled with unwavering certainty: "My elixir of immortality!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three Heavenly Venerables beside him also focused their attention and looked closely. After a moment, their expressions changed and they all nodded in unison.
"Who exactly is this person?" The Celestial Venerable of Immortality frowned, his tone full of doubt. "Could it be that some supreme being in later generations, by chance, obtained the Emperor's elixir of immortality?"
The carefree Celestial Venerable also looked puzzled and echoed in a low voice, "There is no other possibility besides this."
Surely he couldn't have stolen the Emperor's elixir of immortality!
The sky continued
"Through countless reincarnations in the Three Realms, my name will be etched in every lifetime, proclaiming to all the gods, and that all the heavens and earth shall obey my commands!"
The incantation of the Carefree Celestial Venerable resounded throughout the universe.
In an instant, the words "Yun Gen" automatically appeared on every tombstone in the Sea of Reincarnation, shining brightly in gold and illuminating the past, present, and future.
Beneath the sky, billions of living beings held their breath, their eyes fixed on the image on the sky.
This is the first time Ye Fan has faced a genuine Dao Prover since achieving the Great Sacred Body. A supreme battle that will shake the heavens is about to begin.
The battles between ancient emperors and great rulers are never just a clash of combat power, but also a confrontation of the Great Dao.
Every move and every stance contains the essence and insights of the enlightened one's life, making it a rare and precious opportunity for any viewer.
The supreme beings of the forbidden zones in various timelines also put aside their previous contempt and stared solemnly at the sky.
They were well aware that the path of each enlightened being was unique and not to be underestimated. Even in a duel between people of the same level, they could glimpse different paths of the Great Dao from their opponents and might gain something from it.
